The trio traipsed through Route 1 as the sunlight glittered through the trees. The three were silent, except for the crunching of leaves beneath their feet. Suddenly, there was a rustling in the woods next to Nick. He looked over at Brooke and grabbed a Pokéball.
"Go Growlithe!" Nick said...
Nick's face turned a bright red color and he scratched his head.
"Listen. We didn't do anything that he didn't deserve. Yes, he is a little worse for wear then I had expected, but I will leave an anonymous tip and have somone pick him up. Besides..." Nick leaned in, " We really have to get out...
Growlithe ran back over to Nick and looked up at him. He smiled and pet the Pokémon.
"Good job boy, you did well." Nick pulled put his pokéball and held it out. Growlithe barked and jumped, as the Pokéball absorbed his energy. He held the Pokéball close to him and turned towards Brooke.
"It's...
Nick looked at Eric with mild confusion. He seemed very different. His glowing red eye sent chills down Nick's spine. He gulped loudly and looked down at Growlithe. He knelt beside the Pokémon and whispered softly into his ear.
"Growlithe, use Ember on that man, but make sure you don't severely...
Nick could immediately tell something was up. He noticed Brooke's face was red, and she seemed a little quieter then normal.
"Are you okay?" Nick asked. Growlithe walked up to her and nuzzled her leg.
Nick watched as the door shut behing him. He knew something weird was going on with Brooke. However, she seemed capable of taking care of herself. He would just wait where he had promised her.
Nick watched as the battle finished with a swift victory. He picked up Growlithe and fed him a berry. The young Pokémon barked happily, and rushed over towards the door.
"Well, you were right. That was a quick battle," Nick admitted. "You did really well if I do say so myself. So... Are we off...
"Alright Growlithe, after Ember use Quick Attack!" Nick said it determination. Nick watched as Rattata dodged the ball of flame and his eyes grew on shock. Fortunately, Growlithe hit the Pokémon with the Quick Attack.
A surprised look glanced Nick's face. He gripped a tight fist and looked down at Growlithe.
"Alright Growlithe, let's start off small... Use Ember on Rattata! Now!"
Smoke grew out of Growlithe's mouth and he jumped up, shooting out a small blast of fire.
Nick looked down at Growlithe and nodded.
"Growlithe, I choose you buddy!" Nick yelled. Growlithe jumped in front of his trainer and shook his head menacingly.
Nick looked down at Growlithe. The Pokémon barked with determination and nuzzled Nick's leg. Nick looked over at Eric.
"I guess we could do a double battle. You send one out and ill send my one out."
Nick looked around Pallet Town quickly. He was eager to leave his hometown and venture forth into the world. First thing though, he had to find a bike.
"I think there is an older man in the northwest corner of the town who has bikes. I heard he is a Pokémon trainer though, so we should keep our...
Nick glanced over his shoulder at the boy running towards him and chuckled. Of course, he knew he should probably wait, since Eric needed a bike too. However, Nick and Growlithe were ever eager to begin catching Pokémon and earning badges.
"Hurry up, then!" Nick shouted over his shoulder.
Nick smiled at the two before kneeling down to pick Growlithe up in his grasp. The Pokémon licked his face and barked loudly before jumping down and pushing Nick's legs.
"Alright, alright. I'm going. I have to go get a bike. Ill be right back. Meet me back here guys."
"I plan on catching a few more Pokémon before Pewter City. However, I believe Growlithe and I have a good chance at defeating the gym leader."
Nick pet his Growlithe and looked back at Eric.
"Would you like to accompany Brooke and I to Pewter after Veridian City? After that we could go to...
"We need to just rent a few bikes and be on our way," Nick said. "If you need some pokéballs, I know where to get them."
Growlithe followed close behind Nick, occasionally licking his hand and barking.
Nick looked down at his own map and furrowed his brow. He suddenly blushed a deep red color.
" my map was upside down I believe," Nick said quietly. Growlithe pawed at Nick's leg furtively.
"We are going boy." Nick whispered.
"Alright, let's go back to Pallet Town and get bikes."
